Pros
Balanced Survivability and Damage

This build provides a good mix of defensive and offensive items, allowing Achilles to withstand damage while still dealing significant damage to enemies.
High Sustain

Items like Warrior's Axe and Gladiator's Shield provide healing when hitting enemies with abilities, enhancing Achilles' sustain in fights and making him harder to kill.
Effective Against Both Physical and Magical Damage

Shifter's Shield, Oni Hunter's Garb, and Runic Hammer offer protections against both physical and magical damage, making Achilles resilient against various types of enemies.
Crowd Control Reduction

Oni Hunter's Garb provides crowd control reduction, helping Achilles to avoid being locked down by enemy abilities and increasing his survivability in team fights.
Cooldown Reduction

Several items in the build, including Gladiator's Shield, Runic Hammer, and Shield of the Phoenix, provide cooldown reduction, allowing Achilles to use his abilities more frequently.
Second Chance Mechanic

Shield of the Phoenix gives Achilles a shield when taking fatal damage, providing him with a second chance to turn fights around or escape.
High Utility and Mobility

Combat Dodge provides excellent mobility for chasing or escaping, while Shield of Achilles and Radiant Glory offer strong utility in fights.
Cons
No Anti-Heal

This build does not include any items that apply anti-heal effects, making it less effective against teams with strong healing capabilities.
Relatively Low Damage in Late Game

Compared to builds focused purely on offensive items, this balanced build might result in slightly lower damage output in the late game, especially against highly tanky enemies.
Vulnerability to Crowd Control

Despite Oni Hunter's Garb providing some crowd control reduction, Achilles can still be vulnerable to heavy CC chains if not positioned well or if his Purification Beads are on cooldown.
Dependency on Abilities for Sustain

The sustain from Warrior's Axe and Gladiator's Shield relies on hitting enemies with abilities. If Achilles misses his abilities, he won't benefit from the healing.
Item Power Spike Reliant

This build relies on hitting item power spikes to be effective. If Achilles falls behind in gold and can't complete his core items in time, his effectiveness in fights will be reduced.
Less Effective Against High Burst Damage

Although Shield of the Phoenix provides a shield, high burst damage can still quickly deplete Achilles' health before he has a chance to react, especially if the shield is on cooldown.
Requires Skillful Play

Effectively utilizing Combat Dodge and Shield of Achilles for both offense and defense requires good timing and positioning, making this build more suited for players who are comfortable with Achilles' mechanics.

Callouts: Don't just spam emotes and use your tools to communicate!!
Communicate enemy positions, cooldowns, and objective timings to your team.
Positioning: Always position yourself safely in team fights. Use your range and abilities to poke and burst enemies without exposing yourself to danger.

Engagements: Coordinate with your team for engagements. Use Blink Rune to surprise enemies and follow up with your high burst damage abilities.

GLHF OUT THERE!! TAKE TIME TO GO OUTSIDE OR SPEND TIME WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE!

But Achilles with this build in Smite excels as a versatile warrior capable of dealing significant damage while maintaining high survivability. Focus on balancing offensive and defensive items to adapt to different fight scenarios. Use your abilities strategically to control enemies, sustain in fights, and secure kills. Effective communication, warding, and team coordination will be key to dominating with Achilles using this build.
